Objectives of exit planning

5.1  In planning the exit strategy from the current arrangement, the Authority needs to consider:

•  what exit management provisions exist in the Contract (i.e. specific obligations on the Project Company to support the transition/handover and due diligence) and whether such exit services require additional funding;

•  the rights and obligations relating to the ownership and transfer of assets and the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) involved in the delivery of services;

•  the rights and obligations relating to staff involved in the delivery of services; and

•  what Authority actions and obligations arise through managing the Contract through the exit process.
